Cheated

Lying here so weary girl
Just Crying over you
The colours in our rainbow
How they've all turned blue
Raindrop in the ocean
That's what you've made of me today
But still I search for the answer
To why you went away
I've seen darkness
I've seen the light
I felt the pain, oh the pain
In the dead of night
I've been cheated
My heart's been bruised
I've been cheated
All my life I've just been used
Let me tell you darlin'
If you read the lines upon my face
They're sure enough to tell you
My head's out of place
Maybe tomorrow girl
You'll come back to set me free
'Cos you know it's only you babe
Who holds the golden key
I've been cheated
My heart's been bruised
I've been cheated
All my life I've just been used
